* ''VideoGame/ExaPico'' has three examples and justified in all of them:
** ''[[VideoGame/ArTonelicoMelodyOfElemia Melody of Elemia]]'': It is ''technically'' possible for a Reyvateil to craft a song outside her cosmosphere and without the aid of a Hymn Crystal, but it's so difficult and happens so rarely that anyone who sees it happen will say it's impossible.
** ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoIIMelodyOfMetafalica''. The game likes to mention how only one person at a time can dive into a single reyvateil with a ''two'' person dive being a big deal that only the most skilled therapist can perform. Jacqil says Frelia can handle ''four'' people at once. Everyone shouts how impossible this is, and normally they would be right, but Jacqil reminds them that Frelia is a goddess and so can handle it easily. Croix' response is essentially, "oh yeah....I forgot..."
** ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'': When the Rinkernator is open, Reyvateils can't use Song Magic because the source of it is disabled. Coccona can cast anyways because she is registered to an entirely different server called ''Infel Phira'' instead of the Third Tower whose Rinkernator was open at the time. There's a cutscene showing the energy transfer through space.

* In ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'', carbonite is known for its ability to [[PowerNullifier sever a Jedi's Force connection]]. However, Starkiller can still use the Force to break out of carbonite with ease.



* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroTheEternalNight'': Post stage 1 of the boss fight, Scratch and Sniff manage to somehow pick Skabb off the ground and carry him out the window despite him being gigantic compared to them. Spyro and Sparx {{lampshade|Hanging}} this.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonColosseum'': Duking finds Wild Pokemon in Orre, the desert land where no Pokemon can exist except imported ones. Normally this would not be impossible (strictly speaking) but the fact that no wild Pokemon exist in Orre is the defining aspect of both the story and gameplay. This has been expanded upon in the game's sequel ''VideoGame/PokemonXD'' where he invented the means to lure wild Pokémon out of their hiding using bait he specifically made for this purpose. You can use said bait (which he sells through Pokémarts) to find and capture wild Pokémon in a region that's otherwise barren of wild Pokémon.

* ''VideoGame/ThereIsNoGame'' walks the line of this one for the most part, but it really comes into effect during the Squirrel OS segment, where the narrator puts up a fake operating system to fool you into thinking the game has crashed and you need to reset. You get around it by finding a copy of This Is Not A Game, a fake version of the game, inside the fake, not-working operating system and launching it.
--> '''Narrator: You've just launched a fake program from within a fake operating system! That's impossible! What's going to happen?! [[OhCrap I don't like this at all...]]

Added DiffLines:

** This arose from the developers neglecting to set a specific flag on the Phantom Train, one which precludes certain enemies and bosses (but not all bosses!) from being affected by Sabin's Suplex/Meteor Strike. Since then, [[AscendedGlitch every re-release of FF6 has mysteriously neglected to include said flag on the Phantom Train.]]
